Security from the Start

A Trusted Drive with the Wave pre-boot authentication feature enforces policy-driven access control immediately as the drive powers up. The pre-boot authentication application displays the pre-boot screen to capture the user's drive credentials. These credentials are then compared against the credentials that were stored in the drive's hardware-protected credential cache during user enrollment.

Secure and Easy Drive Repurposing

In today's dynamic business environment, PCs are frequently repurposed when organization structure changes or work is outsourced. The Trusted Drive Manager makes it possible for a drive administrator to destroy the drive's encryption key. This renders all the data on the drive permanently un-readable. The entire file system is cryptographically obliterated, allowing the drive to be repurposed with confidence that no residual data can be recovered.
